Explanation
A mirror is a smooth surface that shows a reflection. For example, she looked at herself in the mirror. Mirrors help people see themselves, check appearance, or watch movements. They are useful in homes, cars, and shops, and they can also reflect light and show things that look real but are not, such as bending shapes, making things look bigger or smaller, or showing things twice. Mirrors do not show real changes; they only reflect what is in front of them, so it’s important not to rely on them for self-judgement. As a verb, to mirror something means to copy, match, or show the same behaviour, action, or appearance as someone or something. For example, the calm water mirrored the sky.
